Can confirm approximately the same ballpark, $1650 was the 20k service quote I received at Porsche Austin. Good to know about San Antonio.

I agree that some of the dealers are a rip off. The overhead for service is very high which is driving the insane costs of service . Having said this I am amazed at people who buy cars that cost 150k then bitch about the cost of service .

Have you considered that the complaint is actually about the value received for the cost of the service? If the list of work performed was in line with the cost there would be much less to complain about. In this case, the work being performed is completely out of line with what some dealerships are charging. If you enjoy giving money away, I'll share my Venmo with you and you can fund it all you want.

The value received for the cost of the service is variable.

The value received for the cost of the service is variable. Do they offer a loaner car or other services. Do they bring you in and fix a problem immediately when you call or schedule you for service 3 weeks out. Do they fix items that might not be covered under warranty without charging or do they always blame the customer and say it’s not covered under warranty for questionable items. Do they charge low prices for maintenance service and charge higher prices for more major work. Dealers can charge whatever they want. If people don’t want to pay it and want to go elsewhere that’s fine. This is the same for purchasing cars as well. Some people travel across the to get a better deal on a car then buy from their local dealer.
My point is don’t bitch about getting ripped off. If you don’t want to pay it don’t go there .

I get free charging from electrify america - based on how well the EA service works I’d rather pay a quality provider for better service and reliability.

So it sounds like you have a problem with me sharing my findings and you’re labeling it as “bitching”. As you can see from my posts, I found an alternative and shared it. That is the point of these forums. If you don’t like it you can ignore it and keep bending over for your dealer. I’m sure they appreciate it.

I did the two year service myself and showed the receipts for the brake fluid & cabin air filter. The Taycan brake flush with the MityVac was no different than on my 987, 981 or Cayenne......
so the dealer saying PIWIS is necessary for the brake flush is BS?

The only time you might need the PIWIS is if you screwed up and got air in the ABS pump.

This is good info to know. I just got mine 2 weeks ago but I went in knowing the 2 year service was due in March.
